LOW CARB CHOCOLATE MUD CAKE

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups fine almond flour

1/4 cup cocoa powder

2 tbsp dutch cocoa or additional regular cocoa powder

2 1/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/3 cup water or milk of choice

3 eggs (use vegan eggs for vegan option)

1/3 cup granulated erythritol or regular sugar

1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

 

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 180°C ( 350°F). Grease an 8-inch pan and line with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, stir together almond flour, cocoa powder, dutch cocoa (if using), baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Add water/milk, eggs, erythritol/sugar, and vanilla extract to the mixing bowl. Mix well until a thick batter forms.

Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out using a second sheet of parchment paper if needed.

Bake on the center rack for 14 minutes. If needed, continue baking until firm.

Let the cake cool completely before frosting.

 

Notes:

For a double layer cake, double the recipe and bake in two 8-inch pans.
